When you seek wisdom, the King always answers. He doesn't thunder from the heavens, but whispers through the Holy Spirit and through dreams. Each answer reveals a path, but only one leads to healing. Both may hurt, but only one is holy. The pain you in your dreams may be the pain you escape in life.
The Parable of Two Paths
When you seek wisdom, the King always answers. He doesn't thunder from the heavens, but whispers through the Holy Spirit and through dreams. Each answer reveals a path, but only one leads to healing. Both may hurt, but only one is holy. The pain you endure in your dreams may be the wounds you escape in life by walking in God’s will.

You may call it ugly. You may wish it erased but that thread, stained by grief and twisted through pain, may be holding your entire story together. When it’s pulled, beauty fades, blessings vanish, and only then will you see the lives your story touches: the thread you may despise is your testimony.
The Parable of the Loose Thread
You may call it ugly. You may wish it erased. But that thread—the one stained by grief and twisted through pain—may be holding your entire story together. When it’s pulled, beauty fades, blessings vanish, and only then will you see the lives your story touches: the thread you may despise could be the hinge of your testimony.

You asked for a place to belong, and God showed you His promise, but then He delayed for a season. Impatience led you to compromise and silence the unction of the Holy Spirit, and the cost was steep. Yet His promises never die. When the appointed time arrives, you enter in God's perfect will.
The Parable of the Locked Gate
You asked for a place to belong, and God showed you His promise, but then He locked the gate for a season. Impatience led you to compromise and silence the unction of the Holy Spirit, and the cost was steep. Yet His promises never die. When the appointed time arrives, you don’t enter as a beggar pleading for favor—you enter as one who was predestined to belong.

A child feared the dark, not because he was weak, but because he could sense what others could not. When the shadows danced and the wind groaned, he didn’t cry out with eloquence. He whispered the name of "Jesus" and Heaven answered. This isn’t a bedtime story; it’s a warrior's initiation.
The Parable of Angelic Peace
A child feared the dark, not because he was weak, but because he could sense what others could not. When the shadows danced and the wind groaned, he didn’t cry out with eloquence. He whispered the name of "Jesus" and Heaven answered. This isn’t a bedtime story; it’s a warrior's initiation. The spiritual war is real, and the darkness is thick with evil, but the Light of Jesus still shines, and the darkness cannot overcome it.

He missed his chance to say goodbye, but mercy gave him three seconds. Sometimes, eternity is found in a moment, rather than in an entire lifetime. This parable will change how you view time, grief, and the urgency of love.

She didn’t remember him, but he remembered for both. When loved ones develop Alzheimer's or dementia, it robs them of their memory and dignity. This is a parable of fading memory, sacred presence, and love that endures beyond recognition. It's never easy to sit beside someone as they fade away.

Two children lost in silence. Was it a dream, a vision, or reunion beyond the veil? Maybe it was all three at the same time. This is the parable of grief transformed by prophecy and the embrace that awaits us in eternity. This parable confronts the aching question: What awaits us on the other side?

From red heifers to peace summits, temple mount tensions to global deception—every prophetic puzzle piece is falling into place. This isn’t speculation. It’s not conspiracy. It’s not evangelical hype. It’s prophetic confrontation. I’m not naming dates or hours. I’m sounding the alarm. Look up now!
Prophetic Puzzle Pieces
From red heifers to peace summits, temple mount tensions to global deception, every prophetic puzzle piece is falling into place. This isn’t mere speculation or conspiracy theories. It's not evangelical hype, but prophetic confrontation. I’m not naming dates or hours; I’m sounding the alarm. Scripture is echoing itself in the headlines, but the world is asleep. How about you? Be a Berean and examine the evidence for yourself. Let the Holy Spirit reveal the truth to your heart.

He was silenced, isolated, and falsely accused, but he didn’t curse the darkness; he lit a fire. This is a parable about a steward who obeyed the King when no one else was watching. The steward proved that faithfulness isn’t forged in applause but found in exile.

Obedience isn’t always rewarded with comfort, but it’s always rewarded with provision. Sometimes the Spirit whispers, “Leave now… before the walls collapse.” Do you obey the unction of the Holy Spirit or do you delay? This parable exposes the cost of hesitation and the mercy of divine timing.
